Roma minority in Visegrad countries
Europe is ethnically diverse continent and countries without ethnic minorities are very rare. According to official data every European country with more than one million inhabitants has national minorities. Very easily, a minority in one place can be a majority in another, due to division by national borders. But there are also ethnic groups without their own state like Catalans, Bretons, Corsicans or Roma, which are the largest European minority with population from 10 to 12 million.
